The Accidental Tourist [electronic resource] : by Tyler, Anne.aut; cloudLibrary;
Macon Leary likes the ordinary. A travel writer who hates travel, he prefers instead to indulge in the comforts of home. His travel guides, authored with the traveling businessman in mind, offers not the points of interest, but the places of familiarity in these foreign locales.       But with his son's death, Leary's simple, orderly life is thrown into chaos. His marriage is crumbling around him, his wife Sarah has left him, and an injury forces him to move back in with his siblings accompanied by his dog Edward, who is too willful to be negotiated with. Leary is out of his depth, until he meets the charming and vivacious Muriel, a dog-obedience trainer with a strange sense of fashion and a whirlwind of personality. Wrangling both Edward and Macon, Muriel up-ends Macon's insular world and thrusts him headlong into a remarkable engagement with life.

The lie maker [text (large print)] : a novel / by Barclay, Linwood,author.;
"Your dad's not a good person. Your dad killed people, son. These are some of the last words Jack Givins' father spoke to him before he was whisked away by witness protection, leaving Jack and his mother to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives as best they could. Years later, Jack is a grown man with problems of his own. He's a talented but struggling author, barely scraping by on the royalties from his moderately successful first book. So when the U.S. Marshals approach him with a lucrative opportunity, he's in no position to turn them down. They're recruiting writers like Jack to create false histories for people in witness protection--people like Jack's father. The coincidence is astonishing to Jack at first, but he soon realizes this may be a chance to find his dad. Only there's one problem--Jack's father hasn't made contact with his handlers recently, and they have no idea where he is. He could be in serious danger, and Jack may be the only one who can find him."--

For whom the bell tolls / by Hemingway, Ernest,1899-1961,author.; Hemingway, Seán A.,editor,writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references.In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," For Whom the Bell Tolls. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.
